I can't help but to weigh in here on most CEO's. They in fact do care about the share holders, many more than they should. Hence, you see quite a few companies slashing jobs cutting corners just to make their quarterly numbers with the thought that they'll deal with the problems as they come up. And that some problems will take care of themselves.
IMO the CEO's with their head screwed on correctly, deal with the business and let the share price fall where it may but always communicate to the shareholders so there aren't any surprises.
Frank seems to fall somewhere in the middle.

I was just pointing out that expressing concerns about the unknown or about events we cannot control (commonly called "whining") is a waste of time. As shareholders, we are silent partners in Q's business, and the operative word is "silent". We have little, if any, say in Q's business. Frank may be concerned about our concerns, but I doubt if he conducts business based on our comments.
In his defense, most companies treat their shareholders the same way . . . although some companies communicate with shareholders much better than Frank.
Am I forgiven? I don't want to be assigned to the "outcast" table when we get to Vegas.

Well one thing is for certain, those who do attend the studio tour on Tuesday, need to be very careful in selecting their words and what they post on this thread afterwards. If they do decide to post they need to remember that this thread can get downright nasty.
Go QBID!!!!!!! Let's See Some Green

im loading up on CMKX and QBID. Am I the only one that thinks its a coincidence that everything is starting to come together around the same time for both of these companies, both the most shorted companies in the market? Coincidence that Maheu is associated with both of these companies? NASD took over OTCBB/OTC trading Oct 1st. Coincidence? Maybe not .... maybe. All I know, is the folks that listened to the bashers will be VERY upset by the end of this month. October October October ... man this month will be a month to remember.
Oh and I forgot to add that QBID and CMKX seem to attract the most bashers.

yeah wangdo, id say that out of the 89M at the bid, there was probably like 87M of MM transfering..which leaves only like 2M in real sells compared to 200M bought....

I think you have been one of our most humorous and interesting posters. Sometimes the things you find and post are really exciting to know. You're definitely a Q team player of good spirit and you have heart of gold.
We all share your concerns. There is of course a common sense of understanding that I believe we all can agree on and that is that Frank is and will continue to be a lazy but good businessman. We have surely learned this. It is bittersweet, is it not?
Ignorance spurns aggravation. And truly understanding that should keep everything in perspective.
Keep your chin up girl, happy days are yet to come

If you dont invest in CMKX, I would look into Shore Gold/Kensington/ Forest Gate Resources. They hold claims in the Fort A La Corne area, the land thats engulfed by CMKX's claims. I would suggest going to Kensingtons website and watching all of their videos. The Saskatchewan province is home to the largest diamondiferous kimberlite fields in the world. When you look at the claims map, you have to wonder if CMKX has diomands in them there hills This province is also home to oil sands, one of the most talked about up and coming commodities in the oil industry.
Canada will boom. Eveyrone is pushing for the support of comflict-free diamonds. With this huge kimberlite field in Canada, Canada will be THE leading provider of CONFLICT-FREE diamonds. Blood diamonds by Debeers will soon loos value.
Anyone wondering about all the ruckus floating around related to China and canada? Hmm ... wonder why. Anyway ... do your own DD and dont invest based on my ramblings.

Ok, look...I apologize for name calling. There's no reason for it. Here's where I'm coming from:
All you have to do is look at this board to see what kind of crazy shareholders QBID has on their hands. If Frank released a PR about a meeting way ahead of time they would get mobbed. He is in between a rock and a hard place. He is trying to keep us happy, but there is too much crap hitting the fan right now for him to play Mr. Investor Relations. He's trying to create in opportunity for some of us to get in there and relieve fears and spread the word of confidence to others. Until we are audited and reporting this thing is just too unstable for him to be inviting thousands of angry investors.

If you want to make reference to CMKX and QBID, go back and look at the posts regarding when Urban had a shareholders meeting. I believe it was in Vegas, and a woman got "out of hand" and started yelling at him in a room full of people. She was escorted into another room and calmed down. blah blah blah. I can just see Frank getting slapped by my waiter from the other night. Now Im smiling ! LOL

I still feel that we will get a PR prior to the Studio on 10/11. He is not going to want to deal with even a hand full of angry shareholders JMHO

I'm beginning to think he posts these PRs to try to put off the panic selling as long as possible.
I (and My 3,000,000 shares) hope I'm wrong.

Anyone who did their DD on Mr. Pino wouldn't have invested in MLON. All I will say about that whole situation is "Bridge Financing".

Because he's created a booming business at shareholder expense and the shareholders want to fruit of that expense. I'm not letting him off the hook, I'm just saying that he's got the business to a point where it will succeed handily, but it's cost shareholders lot's of money for that to happen.
